Chapter 287 Going to Apple Manor 3

The sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on the bluestone road of the Zerg town. Linzhi and his group are ready to go, carrying bags with dry food, water bottles and some simple medical supplies. Wang Jun and Wang Kai are particularly excited. They jump and jump along the way, laughing happily from time to time, as if this expedition is an unparalleled adventure game.

"Brother Linzhi, do you think that apple farm really exists? Is apple cider vinegar really that magical?" Wang Jun asked curiously, with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

Lin Zhi smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know either, but since the elders asked us to look for it, there must be a reason. Besides, exploration itself is a kind of fun, isn't it?"

The team continued to move forward, passing through dense forests and crossing several gurgling streams. As the sun gradually rose, they finally arrived in front of a valley surrounded by mountains. At the entrance of the valley, a huge stone tablet was engraved with the four characters "Apple Manor". Although the handwriting was mottled, the former glory could still be recognized.

"Look, that's the entrance to Apple Manor!" Yan Jun pointed at the stone tablet, his tone carrying a hint of excitement.

The group quickened their pace and followed the winding path deeper into the valley. Soon, a spectacular scene came into view: a vast orchard full of red apples, and the air was filled with a faint fruity fragrance. In the middle of the orchard, an old manor stood quietly, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

"This is the apple orchard!" Zhang Ying exclaimed, her eyes full of amazement and curiosity.

They walked into the manor and found the gate was closed and surrounded by complicated mechanisms. At this time, Li? stepped forward, observed carefully, and said softly: "There should be a mechanism to open the gate here, let me try."

After saying that, he reached out and touched a seemingly inconspicuous stone. With a "click", the gate of the manor slowly opened, revealing the road leading inside.

The group walked into the manor carefully, only to find that it was filled with all kinds of exotic plants and decorations, each of which exuded a strong magical atmosphere. They followed a path covered with fallen leaves and came to the core of the manor - an ancient basement.

In the center of the basement, a huge wooden barrel was filled with golden liquid, exuding an alluring aroma. This was their goal for this trip - apple cider vinegar.

"Finally found it!" Lin Zhi shouted excitedly. He carefully took out an empty bottle and filled it with apple cider vinegar.

At this moment, a low roar sounded, and the whole manor began to shake. It turned out that the guardian beast of the apple tree was alarmed. It was a huge apple elf with the power to control nature.

"Everyone be careful and prepare for battle!" Yan Jun quickly organized a team to prepare for the upcoming challenge.

After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the apple elves with wisdom and courage and obtained the precious apple cider vinegar. On the way back, they shared the joy of victory and looked forward to apple cider vinegar bringing more benefits to the Zerg.

On this day, Linzhi and his friends received an invitation from Apple Manor, inviting them to attend the annual apple pie feast at the manor. Apple Manor is a famous orchard in the Zerg world. At this time of year, the owner of the manor would invite friends from all over the world to taste their carefully made apple pies. It is also a good opportunity to exchange information and enhance friendship.

"I heard that the apple pie there is delicious. We can't miss it." Yan Jun rubbed his hands excitedly, with anticipation shining in his eyes.

Lin Zhi smiled and nodded, her heart full of anticipation. Since coming to this world, they had never attended such a grand party, let alone tasted the legendary apple pie.

"Besides, I heard that there are many secrets hidden in the manor. Maybe we can find some clues about this world." Zhang Ying added, her eyes always flashing with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.

So, a group of seven people set out on a journey to Apple Manor. They rode on the Zerg's unique flying beasts, shuttled between the blue sky and white clouds, and felt the unique charm of this world.

After a day's flight, they finally arrived at the Apple Manor. The gate of the manor was open, and two Zerg waiters in gorgeous costumes stood at the door, smiling and welcoming every guest who came.

"Welcome to Apple Farm. May your taste buds be satisfied to the greatest extent here." The waiter's words were filled with sincere blessings.

Linzhi and his friends walked through the beautifully decorated corridor and came to the center of the manor - a wide lawn. There were all kinds of food and drinks on the lawn, and the most eye-catching thing was, of course, the plates of golden and tempting apple pies.

"Wow, this fragrance is simply intoxicating." Wang Jun took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Try it quickly, I can't wait." Wang Kai said as he picked up a piece of apple pie and took a bite, a satisfied smile instantly appearing on his face.

Lin Zhi and the others also picked up the apple pie and tasted it. As expected, the sweet apple filling and the crispy crust were a perfect combination, making people unable to help but eat one bite after another.

Just as they were immersed in the ocean of delicious food, an old man in a long robe slowly walked towards them. The old man had a kind face and his eyes sparkled with wisdom.

"I am the owner of the manor. I am glad that you can come to this feast." The old man said with a smile, "I heard that you are from another world and are full of curiosity about this world. If you are willing, I can take you to see the secrets of the manor."

Linzhi and the others smiled at each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement. They knew that this journey was destined to become even more exciting.

So, under the guidance of the old man, they came to a secret garden deep in the manor. There were all kinds of exotic flowers and plants planted in the garden, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. In the center of the garden was an open grassland with a huge stone plate on it.

"This is our heirloom, and also the secret of our Zerg world." The old man said slowly, "It is said that this stone disk can connect to another world, and you came here through it."

Lin Zhi and the others looked at the stone plate in front of them in surprise, and an inexplicable emotion surged in their hearts. It turned out that their connection with this world was so deep.

"Then, can we still return to our world through this stone plate?" Zhang Ying couldn't help but ask.

The old man shook his head, a complicated look flashing in his eyes. "The power of this stone disk has weakened. If you want to open the connection again, you will have to pay a huge price."

Lin Zhi and the others were silent. They knew that this meant they might never be able to return to their original world. However, they did not regret it. In this world, they gained friendship, love, and countless beautiful memories.

"It doesn't matter. We have fallen in love with this world." Lin Zhi said with a smile, "Moreover, we believe that no matter which world we are in, as long as we have love in our hearts, we can find our own happiness."

The old man nodded with satisfaction, his eyes gleaming with approval. He knew that these young people from another world had truly integrated into this world and become a part of it.

As night fell, the feast at the Apple Manor drew to a close. Linzhi and his friends said goodbye to the owner of the manor and many Zerg friends and set off on their journey home. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as they had each other's company, they had the confidence to face all challenges.

The Apple Manor is located deep in a mysterious forest at the northernmost end of the Zerg territory. It is said that there grows a magical fruit called "Golden Apple". The cider brewed with it not only tastes mellow, but also contains a mysterious power that can enhance mental strength. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Lin Zhi and others who are eager to improve their strength.

The night before departure, they gathered at Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan's home to discuss the details of the trip. Hua Yuan was a rare wise man among the Zerg, proficient in maps and navigation; while Zhang Yuan was good at herbal medicine and medical knowledge, and the addition of the two made this expedition more secure.

"According to ancient documents, the Apple Manor is protected by a powerful barrier, and only people with pure hearts can pass through." Wang Jun flipped through a yellowed scroll with a frown on his face. "Not only do we have to face the test of nature on this trip, but we also have to be wary of those forces that also covet cider."

"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must give it a try." His stern eyes were firm, and he was well aware of the importance of this expedition in improving the overall strength of the team.

The next morning, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and shone on the team ready to go. They rode the Zerg's unique flying insects, through the layers of clouds and fog, and headed north. Along the way, they encountered unpredictable weather and the occasional ferocious beasts, but with the tacit understanding and wisdom of the team, they overcame all the dangers.

After several days of flying, they finally arrived at the forest wrapped in ancient legends. The forest was filled with a faint fruity fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Following Wang Jun's guidance, they found a hidden entrance, and saw a barrier with a glimmering light in front of them.

Hua Yuan looked at everyone solemnly and reminded them softly: "Everyone concentrate, put aside all distractions, and silently recite purity and peace in your hearts. Only in this way can we successfully pass through this mysterious and powerful barrier." After that, she took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and resolutely walked towards the barrier that was emitting dazzling light.

When she approached the barrier, a faint halo of light appeared around her body, as if she had some kind of resonance with the barrier. Then, her figure slowly penetrated the layer of light as if it melted into the water, and finally completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing Hua Yuan enter the barrier so easily, Li Ming followed without hesitation. His steps were steady, his eyes were firm, and he was also muttering something. Sure enough, not long after, Li Ming also successfully passed through the barrier, like a breeze blowing across the lake, without causing any ripples.

Then, Li Hua and Li Li looked at each other, nodded to each other, and then walked towards the barrier together. Holding hands, they walked forward step by step, repeating the spell that could bring power - purity and peace. Gradually, their figures became more and more blurred, and finally disappeared in the bright light.

In this way, the four people successfully passed through the barrier one after another, and the whole process seemed unusually calm and smooth. However, no one knew what kind of challenges and unknowns would be waiting for them...

Lin Zhi took a deep breath and followed closely, feeling a warm power enveloping her whole body, as if her soul had been purified. When they all passed through the barrier, the view in front of them suddenly opened up, and a blooming orchard came into view. In the center was an ancient manor, which was their dream destination - the Apple Manor.

The owner of the manor was a kind old man, dressed simply, with wisdom in his eyes. After learning the purpose of Lin Zhi and others' visit, the old man smiled and led them to the winemaking room deep in the manor. There, rows of huge wooden barrels exuded an alluring aroma of wine, and each barrel was carefully brewed cider.

“Welcome to Apple Farm, brave explorers. You have proven your purity and courage, and this is the reward you deserve.” The old man said as he scooped out a cup of golden liquid from the barrel and handed it to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi carefully reached out her hand and gently grasped the exquisite wine glass. The liquid in the glass showed a charming amber color, as warm and soft as the afterglow of the setting sun. She slightly raised the glass, put her lips close to the edge of the glass, then gently opened her red lips and took a sip.

Instantly, a wonderful feeling surged into my heart like a tide. The warm current slowly flowed down my throat and quickly spread to every corner of my body. It was like the warm sun in winter penetrating through the layers of clouds and mist and falling on the earth, bringing endless warmth and comfort.

At the same time, Lin Zhi clearly felt that her mental strength was undergoing amazing changes. Her originally tired and depressed mental state seemed to be injected with a new source of vitality, becoming unusually active and powerful. This unprecedented improvement made her feel both surprised and excited, as if she had opened a door to a whole new world.

She turned her head involuntarily and looked at her companions. She saw that each of them had a bright smile on their face, filled with joy and satisfaction. Those smiling faces looked particularly vivid and beautiful under the light, as if a picture full of joy was unfolding before her eyes.

During their short stay at the apple farm, they not only tasted the legendary cider, but also learned a lot of profound philosophy about nature and mind from the old man. When they left, the old man gave them a bottle of special cider as the most precious souvenir of this trip.

With a heavy harvest and full of gratitude, Linzhi led her companions on the journey home again. Looking back on this adventurous journey full of thrills and fantasy, everyone was filled with emotion.

They knew that this adventure would bring more than just a significant improvement in their own strength. In the face of numerous difficulties and obstacles, they worked hand in hand and supported each other; when faced with life and death tests, they did not retreat and moved forward courageously. It was these ups and downs they experienced together that made their already deep friendship even more indestructible, and their mutual trust was as strong as steel.

Today, although they are about to say goodbye to this land where they have left countless memories, they clearly understand that this precious experience will be forever engraved in their hearts and become an invaluable asset in their lives. And the increasingly close emotional bond will accompany them all the way and meet more unknown challenges and opportunities in the future.
